Question 1

Good afternoon sir. My husband got his blood test in November 2017 and was detected with thyroid issues, but he was not taking any medicines prescribed by the doctor as he was very sure that it was normal and he could control his TSH level. Recently, when he got his blood test report again after feeling fatigue and loss of appetite, the report showed that his TSH level is 8.2. The doctor has advised him to take medicine for lifetime and prescribed a 10 mg tablet. My husband is still not sure if this TSH level is high for his age and whether he should take the 10 mg medicine or not? Kindly guide.

Question 2

During pregnancy, thyroid was detected. I was taking 25 mg tablets as prescribed by my gynecologist during pregnancy. Now my son is 2 years old, and a blood test was done 3 days ago. The test was Free TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. T3 and T4 are within range, but TSH is raised to 7.25. What should I do? The blood report is attached here. Please guide.

Question 3

I recently had my anti TPO thyroid test done, and the levels are significantly higher than the normal range. I have been taking 50 mcg Thyronorm for my TSH levels for the past 2 years. Additionally, I developed urticaria (skin reaction) 5 months ago, which is still ongoing.

Suffering hives on skin. Presently I am using Manjishtadi Kada and Haridrakhandam since last one week. My test report is Anti TPO 95 positive.

Anti TPO positivity suggests autoimmune thyroid (likely Hashimotos). Skin hives are likely unrelated. Thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4) are advised.
